(BBG) is a California 501c3 dedicated to improving resilience for youth ages 16 to 26 by providing media, tools, training and resources to improve emotional well being, reduce violence, and encourage educational and career achievements.

About Us
Welcome to Bounce Back Generation TV
BBGTV stands for Bounce Back Generation TV — the media site for our parent agency, Bounce Back Generation. Bounce Back Generation is a nonprofit agency with a decade of proven experience in high-stress neighborhoods. We hire motivated changemakers from the communities we serve and focus on youth between the ages of 16 and 24. We teach resilience principles using scientific, evidence-based processes. Peers learn and share their experiences through media to motivate other peers to level up from wherever they are in their emotional development learning process.
Our 3 goals:
Share what we learn about managing our nervous system in ways that bring us power and healing.
Reveal the science behind what makes us resilient together, using BBG’s Building Blocks for Life.
Create a place that is safe, accessible, and helps visitors build confidence and become open and comfortable asking for help.

About Us
We’re Glad You’re Here
Please Note: while we are guided by mental health training and professionals, we are not therapists. We are peers learning and sharing our knowledge, and urge all to reach out for help when needed through our Resources Page. To learn more about how we work and Bounce Back Generation, click here.
Thank you to Potrero Terraces and Annex residents who, for over a decade, worked with us to create Healthy Generations Project and taught us about what true community resilience can do. Watch this video to learn more.

Your donation helps us reach kids and young adults who need it the most
For many of our youth, counseling, therapy, and access to psychological services are simply not there. We provide help 24/7 with resources, tools for self-care, and stories from those “who have been there" too. Your donation is a signal to youth that “you matter.”
